Regions

Welcome to South Australia

South Australia is diverse, so we’ve separated it into areas to help you plan your holiday.

Enjoy a country drive through the Adelaide Hills. Close to Adelaide city, it’s home to Cleland Wildlife Park, German town Hahndorf and delicious white wines.

Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is the best place in Australia to see native Australian wildlife in the wild. You simply can’t beat our wildlife and this wilderness experience. Being in South Australia, the wine is pretty good too.

There’s so much to do on this adventure island; exploring untouched bushland, fishing, sunbathing on pristine beaches, wildlife watching, eco tours, charters or simply relaxing.

From vines to the Flinders Ranges

The Clare Valley is renowned for its Riesling. Explore the area by cycling or walking along the Riesling Trail. Drive north of Clare and you’ll be heading to the outback.

The Flinders Ranges dominate this area and will have you marvelling at their beauty and the animals they provide a home for. Fly over the spectacular Wilpena Pound.

Follow the coast

South Australia’s coastline has three main peninsulas: Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula and the Fleurieu Peninsula. The biggest one is Eyre Peninsula. Stay at a beachside holiday spot, indulge in fresh seafood and swim with sea lions! Go cage diving with sharks at Port Lincoln.

Travel east from the Eyre Peninsula towards the Yorke Peninsula. Take a ride on the Moonta Mines Tourist Railway and camp at Innes National Park.

The Fleurieu Peninsula is home to beautiful beaches and the McLaren Vale wine region. Go whale watching or surfing at Middleton. Visit Victor Harbor and take the horse drawn tram to Granite Island. You’ll discover little penguins and other native animals there.

Visit the Limestone Coast for great diving, cave exploration and Coonawarra red wines. See the Blue Lake at Mount Gambier or kayak along Glenelg River. Learn about Australia’s first saint, Mary MacKillop, at nearby Penola.

The mighty Murray River

Begin your Murray River adventure in one of our “two river regions”. From Murray Bridge, the Murraylands reach north towards the Barossa and past Pinnaroo in the south east. The Riverland begins just west of Blanchetown and extends past Renmark to the Victorian border.

Adelaide and surrounds

Wherever you go in South Australia, you’ll want to stop by Adelaide, Australia’s most liveable city. It’s full of vibrant cafés and restaurants. From the Adelaide Fringe to cycling race, the Santos Tour Down Under, Adelaide loves a party.

Adelaide rises from the middle of a vast, tree covered plain. It lies between rolling hills to the east and sandy beaches to the west. Adelaide’s beauty is its accessibility.
